..he is better than average, he has performed better than knockers to date, at any rate..

Is he in the top 6 or 7 ruckman in the AFL?

We'll?? Is he? Not on those Champion Data figures, he's not. Average ruckman, wouldn't you say?


I agree Mosce. Average.

He has had some good games and formed a formiidable combo with Thompson a couple of years back, but that was a lot to do with the caliibre of big miids at Jacobs' feet rather than Jacobs domiinating.

I think Cox is a good ruckman and neither Jacobs or Warnock are in the same league.

Warnock did however beat Cox in the final we played in 2011, and beat Cox and Nic Nat last time we played them....so rucks...overrated inless they dominate...and they do if they have nothing to compete with ir Ackland Cloke

..and yet an 'average' ruckman has made the AA squad whereas knockers hasn't, sums up the argued comparison succinctly enough..

..I said he is better than average, not that he is top 6 or 7 out of 50+ rucks in the system.. .you said that.. ..hot tip, neither is knockers, and for the big picture of his recruitment, he better crack into the very good to top rucks in the second half of his career, cos he has been very, very average to date..

There are 18 teams. Grundy, Ryder, Sandi, Hale, Jamar, Goldstein, Marich, Pyke, Mumford, Cox are all better. That makes him average.

Btw, I'll concede Ryder before y'all jump down my throat. That still leaves 9 better. So if he's tenth or lower he's average.
